How To Download Talking Tom Camp

The American Camp Association (ACA), in partnership with Teaching Matters, offered a series of webinars over the past year enabling camp educators to discuss how to talk about anti-racism in the camp setting. Those conversations are continued here.

The deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and too many others during 2020 is forcing the country to reconcile with the injustices that plague our systems. As camp professionals, we need to give campers a safe place to talk about how racism affects their lives.

We have heard from staff of color that they do not want to talk about race with campers. Camp is their safe place where they feel accepted and do not want to be singled out for their differences. How do we balance the learning of white and POC campers without repeating implicit bias and unintentionally hurting someone? We want to avoid tokenizing staff or campers of color to teach white people.

If it is clear that everyone bears responsibility for creating open dialogue about race and racism and that it is embedded in the fabric of the camp community, it becomes more difficult to tokenize people of color and more likely that they will want to participate in the conversation. If camp programs, policies, songs/chants, nomenclature, etc., have been examined through the lens of equity and the voices of those traditionally de-emphasized have been prioritized in any potential modifications, perhaps inclusivity can start to become normalized.

How do we talk about race while existing practices of our camp and industry have roots in racism? Our organization clearly benefits from that systemic racism, but we are committed to engaging in the process of reconciliation with local Indigenous peoples on whose land we travel.

Camps that encourage imagination and make-believe ought to be valued as fertile environments, and existing programming can be used to re-imagine and re-mythologize identities. Outdoor classrooms ought to continue to pursue transformative experiential learning, maintaining the social structure while slowly introducing new songs, dances, activities, and stories. Rather than silencing all conversations about Indianness out of shame and discomfort, camps ought to allow Indigeneity to be re-imagined through partnerships with Indigenous educators, and by declaring the cultural, spiritual, and territorial sovereignty of Indigenous peoples.

History is both a reminder of how much camps have achieved and a motivator for overcoming our lingering limitations. Can camps serve as a landscape for learning hard history, forging a way by envisioning a just and equitable future for us all? We must provide pathways for all young people to benefit from the summer camp experience, especially those children most underserved and marginalized by school systems and society.

Camp Dream. Speak. Live. was founded by Courtney Byrd at the Arthur M. Blank Center for Stuttering Education and Research at the University of Texas at Austin through generous philanthropic support in 2014. The camp has a waiting list a mile-long, with children and their families hailing from all over the country to participate in the evidence-based Blank Center CARE Model programming, provided at no cost.

The camp also empowers children by providing many opportunities to engage in challenging communication situations, like taking them to UDairy to place their own orders. Amaris, 11, of Fishkill, New York, ordered vanilla ice cream and water.

I'm a mom to a 10-year-old girl who would like to go to sleep away camp this summer. The camp that we can afford, and that has offered us a scholarship, has a strict no phone call/no email policy. It seems other camps have the same policy. I am concerned that if my daughter wanted to speak to me urgently that she would not be allowed to, especially if there was inappropriate conduct. She might be afraid to tell a staff member, or worse- might not be believed. Thanks for the great website.

Investigating and understanding the policies of any youth serving program, such as a camp, is absolutely one of the steps protective parents can take in helping ensure a safe environment for their children. It is indeed a part of planning for prevention.

The minute-long video shows a man talking to someone as they record the conversation. The man is identified in the video caption as a sergeant based at Camp Lejeune. Other Marines allegedly involved are also identified in the caption.

Merci beaucoup, Rebecca! I've been wanting to focus more on interpersonal speaking with my students for years and this year I finally am thanks to all the fabulous ideas & resources you've shared! :)

Last week I experimented with different ways to take notes while my students were talking. Here's the sheet that I found easiest to use:

Girls Talk Math is (for 2021) an online camp. Camp will now run July 19 - July 30 on weekdays, from 2 to 4 pm each day. Additionally, there will be special events on Saturdays such as panels and interviews with women mathematicians. Rising-9th to rising-12th grade students who attend high school within commuting distance of the University can apply. Camp activities involve learning mathematics outside of the standard curriculum, attending mini-lectures on math, as well as recording and publishing a podcast about a famous female mathematician. Select the Blog or Lectures tab in the panel above to see what last summer's students learned or take a listen to the featured podcast above. For more information about the typical live camp activities visit the about us page.

For some former residents, the sight of diggers and ditches was a positive sign that the Syrian government was finally getting serious about rehabilitating the camp, two years after it was returned to Syrian government control through a combination of military might and negotiated evacuations.

The Syrian government and its allies finally moved on ISIS in April 2018, launching a major offensive with the help of Palestinian militias and Lebanese Hezbollah, as well as Russian airpower. Whole areas of the camp were flattened. Remaining residents disappeared under the rubble. The offensive lasted a month, when ISIS and HTS fighters accepted evacuations. Neighboring rebel-held suburbs also submitted to forcible evacuations north.

Ever since the end of the pro-government offensive, when former residents started going into the camp to check on the damage done, people have been saying that the Old Camp was in relatively better condition than anywhere else. That meant that small-scale returns could begin within a matter of months.

Even so, hundreds of thousands of displaced former residents of Yarmouk either in Damascus or the diaspora more broadly are now running out of patience. And this is not a phenomenon exclusive to the camp.

We are pleased to announce a special grant opportunity for Russian Speaking Jewish (RSJ) Families from Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest. Eligible campers each receive a one-time gift of $750 toward their tuition at Jewish overnight camp for 2024!

Once your application is approved and registration is confirmed by your summer program, the grant payment will be forwarded directly to the camp/organization during the summer. The camp may deduct the grant amount from your balance; or, if you are already paid in full or your balance is less than grant amount, you will receive a refund or credit from the camp/organization. We will advise the camp/organization to do so, and we recommend that you confirm specifics with the camp/organization directly.

Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, and grant availability is limited. Thus, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible once your child has been registered for camp. The deadline to apply for a grant is May 31, 2024 (or sooner if the funding maximum is reached).

95-year-old Holocaust and Auschwitz concentration camp survivor Esther Basch will share her experience in Kalispell on Monday, November 20, 2023, during a presentation at McClaren Hall on the campus of Flathead Valley Community College.

Holland provided some minor injury notes, discussed players invited to camp on professional tryouts, shared some expectations for the team this season and much more, with the first on-ice sessions slated for Thursday.

Well, obviously when we finished, I think Stu played 28 of the last 32. I think coming into training camp, obviously, based upon the way you finished, he's probably got the leg up. But the reality is, who's in net on opening night? We're going to need both guys over 82 games. I would think at the end of the year, one guy plays 50, one guy plays 30, or 45 and 35. We'll play that as we go. We're going to need both guys. It's really a two-goalie league. Who plays opening night for the first two? I don't know. For me, it doesn't matter. I think from a fan's perspective, they read into who's the opening day pitcher, who's the opening day goalie. Things change so much over the course of six months and 82 games. Then you factor in injuries.

I hope not, but we're going to have injuries over 82 games. To think we're going with the same 12 forwards and they're just going to be in there every night, or vice versa, the same six defensemen. I hope it happens, but I think the reality is you need depth. So I said to these guys today in the meeting, if you're a player coming into camp and you don't quite see yourself on the team, whether you're in Bakersfield, you need to have a good camp. Because the reality is, over the course of 82 games, we're probably going to play 15/16 forwards and we're probably going to play 8/9/10 D. I think you've got to plan on that now because we're tight on the cap. 17dc91bb1f
